Addressing Cucumber Beetle in Dahlia, Fusarium in Lisianthus, and Blight in Zinnias

I co-wrote this article with my technical advisor, Jessica Vaughan, for the Spring 2024 issue of the ‘Cut Flower Quarterly,’ a publication of the Association for Specialty Cut Flower Growers. This research and corresponding educational materials were part of a 3-year grant project funded by SARE.

I have been a member of the ASCFG for nearly 10 years and have gained a lot from my involvement including access to their forum, conferences, farm tours and other online resources. I would recommend investing in membership for any commercial growers.
